RELAXED CONCERT SERIES

In 2019 we are pleased to continue our Award-winning series of relaxed and accessible concerts in partnership with the IHC Foundation. These performances focus on inclusion, participation and discovery opportunities for diverse audiences.

Participation is a big part of these events; trust-building and learning songs prior to the concerts lead to a higher level of participation and an overall more relaxed environment. This will be a relaxed performance – everybody is encouraged to move around, vocalise and express themselves as they wish.

This concert will be led by community musician Julian Raphael and will feature the chamber music group The Noveltones, an improvising chamber quartet featuring the unusual instrumentation of violin, soprano saxophone, bass clarinet and double bass.

“The animated faces and response of the students said it all. My daughter smiled throughout! The audience just could not help themselves joining in with infectious enthusiasm.” – Parent

“This is an annual highlight in the Hohepa calendar. Everyone starts talking about this months in advance.” – Community Participation Manager, Hohepa
